ACTOR & FATHER OF SIX MOST CRITICAL PROJECT: KIRK CAMERON'S PLEA TO PARENTS TO PROTECT & EDUCATE THEIR KIDS ABOUT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA/TECHNOLOGY
IN THE NEWS: Since last week's horrific Florida school shooting, a Florida teacher has gone viral asking parents to "step up" regarding their kid's behavior. Bill Gates, Apple shareholders and Facebook/Google employees have openly expressed that parents need to be involved with their kid's lives regarding the negative effects on concentration, behavior and their kids mental state.
ACTOR, PRODUCER AND FATHER OF SIX, KIRK CAMERON is speaking out and offering solutions to kids and parents on an alarming topic that has been in the news - Kids and the Impact of Social Media/Technology Related to Anxiety, Depression and for some Suicide.
. Research has shown that kids are being conditioned for instant gratification with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and others.
. Kid's priorities are now adding friends, posting photos, and finding validation through "likes."
. Without their phones/social media they are irritable, anxious and go through withdrawals. 50% of kids admit they are addicted to their phones. Many are unable to have good face to face conversations.
. Medical professionals note the stimuli impacts child development, and the adverse effects that lead to depression and for some...suicide. All of this leaves parents feeling helpless.
KIRK CAMERON is offering help and a conversation starter for parents and kids regarding the challenges and dangers of a social media and technology so we can reap the benefits and not fear the worst.
In KIRK CAMERON: CONNECT (in theaters nationwide Feb. 27 and March 1st), Kirk features critical stats and solutions with the help of several experts including Dr. Ian Armstrong (Neurosurgeon), Kathy Koch, Ph.D. (founder of Celebrate Kids, Inc.). Also featured are testimonials from teens and parents.
In an online world that creates an illusion of reality and "friends" through social media, apps and "followers," Kirk Cameron: CONNECT pulls back the curtain to the benefits, dangers and boundaries that every one should consider while monitoring and utilizing technology in our young people's lives. As Cameron reminds parents, "The heart of the battle is really the battle of the heart."
